What Happened to Little Kim: Was it Faith?









This is not the first time I've blogged about Little Kim. Before, I spoke about her being a candidate for Dancing With the Stars. She did that, exposed her breast accidentally, and eventually got booted out. Apparently her dancing skills aren't as good as her rhyming skills. But since Little Kim now qualifies to be a member of the Jackson family via her plastic surgery, there's a couple of things I want to get off my chest.

After watching Notorious, my wife and I wondered what happened to Little Kim. As the movie portrayed and as we all knew, she was Biggie's "ride or die" chick. He elevated her economically at the price of her being "Hip-Hop's Marilyn Monhoe." But the movie Notorious shows what happened when Biggie married Faith. After all, some of us went through the drama with Biggie. I remember having the feeling, when the news broke (of Faith and Biggie's marriage) that Little Kim might not be to happy.

If she had a heart, she was hurt. And most women who sacrifice for a man, and then abruptly are thrown to the curve for another women ask the infamous question: What does she have that I didn't? Trust me, I've been there.

So anyway, next thing we know, we have Little Kim wearing blonde wigs and all kinds of different hair bleaching techniques. Years later, we have a women who has bleached her skin, and has had plastic surgery done to monstrous proportions. To put it frank, she's not to far from being Kim Jackson.

Now, here's my theory and this is just an opinion, so don't go spreading this like the gospel. Okay, Kim was in love with Biggie. Biggie raised her up, and showed her the ropes in the rap game. Big meets Faith and elopes, and demotes the initimate aspect of him and Kim's relationship. Big continues to see Kim while married to Faith until both realize it's to much hassle and heartache. Big "dumps" Kim and only deals with her professionally. Kim is heartbroken, already had lowself esteem and sees Faith as the object of her pain, yet feels that if she was more like Faith, maybe she would still have Biggie. From their, the plastic surgeon got called.

Now maybe I'm tripping but I doubt it. I mean, I don't think Kim was trying to turn herself into a white girl. I've never seen any reason that would make me think she was on the path of Michael Jackson. I think she got hurt mentally, got bent up psychologically and really was trying to get some Faith! Thus, we see the bleaching of the hair, the bleaching of the skin and don't ask about the butchered nose.

But it goes to show you that confidence is underated. Why be like someone else when you can be like you? Instead of saying if I was more like that, I would be fine, why not be still and find the answers between you and your self? Poor Kim, she seems lost and I hope she finds her way.

Michael Vick: Another Victim of Black Exploitation


I know sometimes I can be a little edgy about my views on race. So instead of speaking on the Gates situation, I'm going to tackle the "Michael Vick Story." And though the race card doesn't have such a bearing impact, in my opinion, there are minuscule elements that still embody the situation as a whole.

As it relates to Vick's hideous actions, I disagree totally. There is nothing anyone can say that would convince me otherwise. Moreover, what probably was a minor decision to Vick ended up having major impacts. According to U.S.A Today, Mike forfeited 70 million dollars in his 10 year, 130 million dollar contract, lost millions in endorsements and paid 928,000 bucks in restitution for the state taking care of those abused pits. Briefly put, he owes creditors 20 million.

Now, some African-Americans want to pull the race card out. And no doubt, there is a time to do so. But I don't think this is good situation to pull it on. When you look into some of the details of how dumb Vick got in the treatment of the pits, it doesn't leave much room for the race card.

For example, in the indictment, it is documented that dogs were hung, drowned, and electrocuted. To put it bluntly, thats piss poor.

So lets all hope that Vick learned his lesson. The commissioner is giving him a second chance, so lets hope he's marijuana free and done with dog abuse (for his sake).

The problem I had with the "Michael Vick Story" is how the media exploited him. If you didn't see Vick on the Cover of
U.S.A. Today, you missed a sad and gloomy front page. It was so sad and gloomy that I felt compelled to purchase the paper.
And what the heck is Vick doing on the cover (featured article) of the USA TODAY anyway!

In lieu of all the issues this country is having, why is Vick on the cover of a nationally syndicated newspaper? Ahhh, the race card unfolds just a tad bit. Seems to me that he's been humiliated enough (by his own actions and that fact that he's broke). Then you want to put him on the cover of the U.S.A Today with his head down and eyes shut. NO FAIR.

I tried to let it slide, but under the picture it read, "A pretty stiff penalty: Michael Vick, leaving federal court May 22 in Norfolk, Va., has lost more than 70 million and spent about 18 months behind bars on a dogfighting conviction." Then to make it crazy, to the right of Vick's article was "Fed says jobless rate may hit 10.1%-Still it sees end of recession this year." Now you tell me what's more important, the recession ending and the current unemployment rate, or Michael Vick. It's a no brainer if you ask me. Apparently the chief editor didn't feel the same way.

In conclusion, let us not pull the race card out on a man that made dumb decisions and subjected himself to the rule of the law. But let us recognize that the media has exploited Vick to the upmost and he doesn't get to see any of that money. Sad indeed.

Black in America 2: The Minstrel Show is Back!!

Oh how Sia's soul trembled when he heard of the return of Black in America 2! This might just be the best Minstrel Show of the year! You know the Europeans love this. I wonder does the KKK throw parties centered around this series? Racist politicians surely have to break the butler out for this viewing. Nothing like eating fine cuisine while you watch blacks in 2009 find a way to fit in society (and it's still not working).

What this show exemplifies is the European's desire to keep us in our "bucket of crabs." They love to see our struggle, it's fascinating to them. The mind of the racist European doesn't want us here in the first place. At best, they would prefer we deported to another country (i.e. Africa) and at worse, they would prefer us to move to the back of the bus (i.e. segregation). When neither happened, you have what Marcus Garvey predicted in earlier times: A country that will forever be racially torn. It reminds me of what happened the first time a black delegation was allowed in the White House. The country, as it always has been was in a racial anarchy. Mr. Emancipator, Lincoln, was trying to convince black people to go back to Liberia (nooo! not Lincoln). He was attempting to keep the European race as white as Jesus (pun intended)! He told the delegation:

"You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong, I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffers very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffers from your presence. In a word, we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason why we should be separated."
-Source- Dred's Scott's Revenge


So Mr. Lincoln and his American Colonialization Society got $100,000 bucks to get rid of us. Yup, instead of freeing the slaves-he felt it better for the union to get rid of us (didn't they bring us here?). But okay, I'm getting off subject-this blog is about the 2009 negroism being displayed by our liberal buddies, CNN.

So since the seperation failed, the Euros (not the currency) have to deal with us. And what better show to watch for a prejudiced or racist Euro then Black in America! Oh yeaaahh, let them see the hood, let them see the drop out rate, teen pregnancies, single family homes, how black women do their hair, don't forget about the H.B.C.U.s-thats right, show just how tough of a time the "negros are having."

"Only 70% of all High School Students Graduate in Four Years. That Number Drops to 50% for Black Students."
-Carl Azuz, CNN (previewing Black in America)

A moment like this would call for a European requesting a rare steak from his butler while he devotes his attention to this crap. Some of you Africans are looking at this and are excited, but you don't see whats going on. YUP! It's black exploitation at it's finest!! Real smooth, so smooth, they had to bring it back. Whats sad is that our people will probably request part 3! You people go head and watch that dog poop-I'll be studying lessons on self. Now back to my regular agenda.

Hip-Hop & The Illuminati? What Gives?

A lot of my readers end up on my blog because, believe it or not, people are trying to find a link between hip-hop and the Illuminati. Ironically, one reader landed on my blog searching for lil wayne and his relationship to the Illuminati. Apparently, our conspiracy thinkers (I presume from the hip-hop generation) wonder if hip-hop and the global grand scheme of the Illuminati have a connection.

If you asked my opinion, I would say yes. I haven't got to my book that discusses this secret society in detail, so I don't want to go the historical route. What I do want to do is discuss what we do know. We do know that the Illuminati is pushing for global domination. Moreover, this would not be a good thing for humans. The plan itself comprises of the middle class becoming the lower class and thus, only the wealthy would be on top.

What do they need the people to do while they implement their plan? Well, everything else but pay attention to the laws that are passed in Congress!! They don't want you to know what they are doing, because in the end, they want you to be "enlightened" by their grand plan. Yup, it's good for them and bad for us.

So maybe hip-hop takes out a huge percentage of young adults, who instead of reading the N.Y. Times, or Constitutional Chaos (Napalitano) they are reading XXL or VIBE. Instead of studying for school, they are watching MTV. I have family members that can tell me more about the hip-hop culture than the history of the United States. Couple that with the fact that they know minimum history about their ancestors and you have someone who is deaf, dumb, and blind.

"I have family members who can tell me more about Hip-Hop culture than the history of the United States."

At first, the concept seems outlandish, but when you think about it, isn't Hip-Hop an easy way to disillusion the masses? Isn't it a great smoke screen that takes one's attention away from things that really matter? After all, there are no more artists screaming revolution anymore. To bad X-Clan, and Public Enemy came a little early. We could use their message being blasted twice an hour on the radio these days. Now you might say I'm being tough on hip-hop. No, I'm tough on the people that allow Hip-Hop to rule their lives. I'm tough on the parents that can't see that their kids have to much of an obsession with Little Wayne (as if he's a role model). Will these be my politicians when I become a senior (inshallah)? I'm shaking in my bones!

So yes, take the "urban science" out of hip-hop, discourage any kind of education in lyrics, and only put major money into gentlemen and women that are willing to put on the "blackface." In addition, infuse the genre through the land internationally and now you have millions around the world that will be deaf, dumb and blind because of their passionate loyalty to hip-hop. Yeah, it could be part of the plan of the secret society elites, but even still, it's a minor one at best. Never the less, Sia Sobek says there is a correlation between hip-hop and the plot of the secret society globalist. And in all satire, I say: "Good job big brother."

"Abe Lincoln: A Victim of Righteous Justice"

The more I read the book Dred's Scott Revenge by Andrew Napolitano, the more I realize that Abraham Lincoln was a supreme racist. Moreover, he was not an emancipator, he did not care about the rights of slaves (not to the least) and he felt the "white" race or European peoples, as I like to call them, were inherently superior to the African race!! Way to go Abe! They did a good job of sweeping your dirty history under the rug.

Lincoln was a sellout to his own people. He had a knack for arguing both sides of the issue. But inherently, like most whites in the South at the time, he supported slavery. From the looks of it, Lincoln was hated by the South because he just wasn't bold enough to put his foot down and wave the flag of slavery.

Now, to show you what time it is...peep this:

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races-that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe forever forbid the two races lifting together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
-Abraham Lincoln (Source Dred Scott's Revenge)

Dang! What kind of Wheaties was he eating? Now grant it, I knew Abe wasn't the saint they made him out to be before reading this book, but I had no idea he was this much of a bigot. The last place a man like this should be is in the oval office. Sad, Sad, Sad.

But justice is something to be reckoned with and it seems that everything spun out of control for Mr. Lincoln. Trying to appease the North while inherently supporting the South just didn't seem to work out. Therefore, it was his rightful fate to be the first president to be assassinated. When you deem any group of people inferior, when you attempt to change God's law of all humans being equal, there's no telling what you are opening yourself up to. In Lincoln's case, it was a shot to the cranium with a Philadelphia Deringer. That's one heck of a gun to-couldn't have been much left of his brains and that's fair since he was using it correctly anyway. Hitler had some of the same pretenses towards the Jews-however he beat 18 assassination attempts. In the end, he killed himself.

But all in all, you can't deny that African peoples around at the time saw through Lincoln's antics. And while a lot of the country mourned his death, I'm sure many slaves thanked God for justice being served. Ironic indeed-wouldn't you agree?

"Steve Mcnair: Could Polygyny Have Saved His Life?"


"A Peculiar form of polygyny was practiced among Western peoples in early Mesopotamia, and among the Greeks and Romans, in the form of concubines and prostitution, but it was dehumanizing to women...[it] was carried over into early America with enslaved African American women and continues in contemporary times in various forms"
Dr. Patricia Dixon-founding Pres. of National African American Relationships Institute (NAARI)

The story of Steve Mcnair is unfortunate and sad. However, in the words of Slick Rick, "these types of things happen everyday." The only exigent factor in Mcnair's circumstance is that it cost him his life. Whats more interesting is Mcnair's reputation amongst his community. It seems like his actions didn't fit his character. In fact, even considering his erroneous actions, from what I saw, people close to him only had good things to say about the type of person he was.

Well, with no pun intended, if he was Solomon, this would have never happened. I've had talks with my friends about polygyny, and I usually get rash feed back. But when Mcnair hit the ethers, perhaps it brings more relevance to the notion. The fact is, Mcnair was missing something in his life and his search stopped when he met Sahel Kazemi (even though some press sources say he had another mistress which instigated the incident). And yes, I know that true happiness comes from within, but he was only human (born to make mistakes) and at the time, he saw something that brought him a certain level of contentment that he obviously didn't have.

And yeah, I know it may not seem appropriate to pull the race card out on this issue, but here it comes anyway. Polygyny, at one point, was the norm in societies all over the globe. I know the ladies don't want to fathom their ancestors practicing it-but wake up, smell some Sanka, read a book, and catch up to speed. As you can expect, our humanatarians from the Causcas mountains put an end to polygyny by deeming it unacceptable (got to love how they put the smack down). The iron hand came when fathers of the Christian church backed them up 100%.

"It was not until after the 15th century, with European world conquest and domination, that the idea of polygyny as an inferior marriage practice and monogamy as the superior marriage practice came to dominate the world."
Dr. Patricia Dixon- Associate Professor of African American Studies @ Georgia State University

So if you really want to go back to your roots, brothers and sisters, then you'd realize your lineage lines you up with families that had numerous wives and one male. Moreover, at this time in history, we were in control of our destiny, without the yoke of European culture dragging us down! If Steve Mcnair could do it all over again, I'd bet he'd take the option.



According to Dr. Patricia Dixon in her book, "We Want for Our Sisters What We Want for Our Selves (African American Women Who Practice Polygny by Consent), polygyny is still practiced in western societies. She proports that now polygyny is practiced under the myth of monogamy. Think it's a joke but names like Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Elliot Spitzer, Thomas Jefferson, Mark Sanford, Eric Benet, Sen. John Ensign, and Dr. Martin Luther King (to name a few) proves her estimation to be precise at best.

On the contrary, when Africans practiced polygyny, it was open, whereas no deception was involved. It was used as a form of nation building (i.e. Abraham), and it had numerous advantages over monogomy. Even Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, so long as Allah comes first and all our loved equally, up to four women per male is permissible. Our brother in the pic has three wives with children and they all look happy.

Maybe, just maybe, when Billy got busted, Caucasians began to regret they eradicated polygyny from being an acceptable practice in marriage. I guess the governor of Carolina would affirm that notion. Meanwhile, in America, the practice is so remote to the founders of polygyny, (people of dark hue) it seems as if we didn't introduce the practice to society. I guess we'd rather just get women behind our lady's back, in deception, rather than deal with the fact that polygyny is part of our great ancestreal heritage. According to Dr. Dixion, that's the European way!

And to show you how the cards turn, Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormons, took the practice and ran with it! Makes sense to me, after all, his revelation of Jesus in America came from Egyptian tablets (yeah right)! Once the Causcasian comes through waving the flag, watch out-you might forget who you are!

In conclusion, Steve Mcnair's death is tragic, but at one point, his actions would have never led to the consequences he received in 2009. When you lose sense of your history, you lose a sense of who you are, and when you lose that you you've lost knowledge of self. If only we could turn back to the east and recognize our stolen legacy. Yes, Steve Mcnair was searching for something, but as Africans in America, aren't we all?

"Inspiration Never Dies-Neither Does Good Music"

I guess I'm pretty old school when it comes down music. Sure you can catch me on the stage rocking sci-fi raps with Planet Zoron, but when I go home, I don't even listen to hip-hop. Does it strike you odd that even though I'm a hip-hop artist, I mainly listen to jazz, neo-soul, new age and funk? I hope not.

I guess the apple never falls far from the tree. My dad always listened to jazz and classic R&B. I guess when you grow up in Detroit, it's hard not to. But at any rate, when I was younger, I listened to artists like Miles Davis, Rachell Ferrell, Will Downing, Brian Mcknight, Ramsey Lewis, George Duke, and Anita Baker to name a few that come to mind. I guess you can say I was way ahead of my time or maybe I just had an "old soul" at the time.

But the fact of the matter is, even though these artist were not hip-hop, they taught me so much about the inherent nature of music. Attributes such as passionate songwriting, brilliant compositions, and stellar performances had to rub off on me. Perhaps this is why I never wanted to write about balling, selling drugs...your typical "street" emcee if you will. I always sought to raise the bar by rapping about everyday life in an extraordinary way.

"Rock the house yall, like it's old school 89 with flows thats divine so they way beyond time."
"Another Planet" by Planet Zoron


I guess at the end of the night, the lesson learned is you normally get out of life what you put in. Who knows what my musical fate would have been had I not listened to these ingenious musicians. For all I know, I may have never become an emcee, producer, promoter, and owner of an entertainment company. And though I can feel that this 14 year run might be coming to an end as I prepare for law school, and embrace spirituality- I know it was well worth it. I wouldn't take it back for the world.

Abraham Lincoln: An Enemy of Africans & The South

It's no secret that the United States' educational system, as it relates to depicting history as it really went, is tainted numerous falsehoods. Among these "superlies," as I like to call them, is the tale of Abraham Lincoln. We've all heard how much a hero he was when he freed the slaves. In fact, according to western history books, the civil war was fought solely for the freedom of slaves.

However, it only takes one to read a couple of books to discover this was a bunch of dog poop thats been simmering in a crock pot for a 100 plus years. The truth of the matter is Lincoln had no interest in freeing slaves. On the contrary, Lincoln was simply trying to preserve the Union. African's freedom, was not on the forefront of his agenda;however, keeping the country in tact was.

"We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free."
-Lincoln's Secretary of State William H. Seward

The Fact is, Lincoln was caught between a rock and a hard place. As one can imagine the conflict of trying to appease the north and the south was arduous at best, but history shows that Lincoln clearly had no interest in the moral side of the issue.

In fact, the south, frustrated by Lincoln's position on slavery and his knack for infringing on state's rights, created The Confederate States of America (do you remember this in American History?). The states that comprised this nation was South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee. That's right, they created there own nation solely to protect the institution of slavery. But all in all, Lincoln could give a rats butt about Africans. He did not uphold the pillars of what this country was supposed to be founded on.

How disappointing huh? To me, it definitely makes me view the Lincoln Memorial in a different light. Why? Because Lincoln didn't stand for liberty and justice for all. No wonder they kept this quiet in history class.

America's Media: A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing?

A wise man once said war is different variables of deception and if there is truth to that, perhaps there is a war going on on American citizens. However, it is not a physical war, more so, a psychological war fostered by the media. You know the media has immense power on how we perceive our existence. This is why you can't hate on those who don't watch the news. Indeed, there is some wisdom in that.

So how about you? When you turn on Fox, CNN, MSNBC and other news networks,do you take what you see to be true for the most part? More specifically, let's deal with political issues overseas. The elections in Iran, for example, is a good reference point. The media jumped all over the conflict as if we had something to do with it. When you turned on the news, that's all you saw while the conflict persisted. Meanwhile, I wondered what's the big deal? It's there country and their leadership clearly does not want us interfering with their internal issues.

"It's not productive, given the history of U.S. Iranian relations to be seen as meddling...the U.S. President, meddling in the Iranian elections." -Barack Obama

First of all, it is not our country. It's not for us to interfere with another country's election. It seems frivilous at best and don't we have enough problems of our own? Secondly, you have to ask yourself, in what light are they asserting you should view Iran? Thirdly, you have to realize that you are not seeing the full picture. You are seeing what our press and politicians want you to see, and you are hearing what they want you to hear. Last but not least, realize that our government has viewed Iran as an enemy for quite sometime now. Research the CIA's involvement with Iran in the 50's and things become even more clearer. Don't worry-a couple of YouTube clips will initiate your research if you're interested (see how educational my blog can be).

Wouldn't it be better if you got a succinct recap of America's history with Iran before they report on major current events there? It would be a way of keeping the press honest and if nothing else, it would allow people to make better conclusions (they would have more knowledge to make their own conclusions). If the President voiced his concerns, yet clearly asserted he respects Iran's "state sovereignty," why can't the press back up and give it a rest all ready!

So at this time-I'd like to present my evidence to you. That's right, more exhibits for American History X! After watching these YouTube clips, I bet you will think twice about how you view the press reporting on Iran (especially FOX news). You be the judge.

Watered Down Conviction=No Religion

Perhaps the single most significant problem in western society is the lack of religious conviction. The lack of piety in America can be viewed on its face and it's no secret that our administration also treats religion as a mere sport (by in large).

Sure Christianity is the "American Way," but does Christianity have a profound impact on society? If it doesn't, it is a empirical reflection of those who practice Christianity, for man makes religion profound; religion does not make man.

What I mean by that is no matter how pious the religion or path may be, it takes someone to use the religion or path as vehicle to perfection in order for the masses to certify the legitimacy of the said faith. And though it is written in most holy books, apparently it is difficult for humans to except the notion that the ways of the world only bring pain and suffering.

When you turn on the news you see it. When you go to the club, it is on full blast, and sadly when you go to religious institutions, folly is prevalent as ever before. What is the solution to this problem? I believe that man must treat religion/spirituality as if it is a part of his inherent nature. Only God can give us the faculties to be upright and pious and it is through His mercy that we are able to use these faculties for the upliftment of ourselves and others.

However, it became clear to me at an early age that religion for most is closer to being "child's play," rather than it being on the forefront of the majority's hearts and minds. Sadly, until we as a nation begin to place emphasis on pious principles, our fate will ultimately be doomed.

Of course, for me, the revelation by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) holds all the keys to establish a nation that God would be proud of. Islam is unique because it clearly makes it known that lukewarmness is not the way to God's heart. The Quran of Mecca points this out clearly in the following Sura:

"Such as took their religion to be mere amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of the world...for We had certainly sent to them a Book based on knowledge, which We explained in detail- a guide and a mercy to all who believe (7:51)."

That means, as much as we would like to get on our death bed and ask for forgiveness of all our sins in our entire life, we know that God is much smarter than that. After all, He is the all knowing and most Beneficent one, and He is just and holds ALL our deeds on a balance scale.

My point is, in order for us to live up to the standards of God, being lukewarm is not the key. It takes courage and strength to uphold righteous pillars, to not blend in with the ways of the world, and to refute behaviors, laws and actions that are against the divine scheme of things. However, it must be done. If it is not done, you will end up with a nation that has no morals, no significant spiritual precedent, no reverence for the throne of God, and no understanding of what it truly means to walk in the path of the pious ones.
